Re: recreational gas.
It is alcohol free. Alcohol which in this country comes from corn, is not only more expensive than gasoline, it has less potential energy.

Previous experience. I had an old outboard engine. Due to them adding alcohol to the fuel my engine was not built for the fuel. I had to rebuild the carburetor to take the new fuel.

Your car, depending on manufacturer, assuming it is not an antique, is designed for 10% alcohol. Some cars can take the higher alcohol blends, It is a good idea to research the car you own and to know.
